loading line for a weed eater

jetman · #1 Sep 12, 2006, 07:21 AM

looking at the bottom of a single line weed eater, do you load the line clockwise or counterclock wise so it will lengthen when you tap the ground?

You should load it so that excess line will hit the blade side of the length trimmer.

Look closely at the spool, usually there is a graphic which tells you which way to wind.

Ditto....., there is usually a arrow molded into it, showing you the direction....., there is also a tiny hole.... insert the end of the string in there till it stops going in and then wind it.... that hole helps to hold the line in. Beleive its counterclockwise though...

I want to know how to put the string in, but my graphic shows to wind counter-clockwise.
